Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2288 The best is like water, and the bottom is like water.

  Xu County.

   Or call it Xudu.

The reason why it is called "or" is because of Fei Qian. After all, if there is no Guanzhong Chang'an as a comparison, then it can probably be called "Xudu", but now many people think that Xu County can still only be regarded as A county somewhat lacks the "spirit of king and domineering" of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

  Although the names of many places in Xu County are still the same as those in Luoyang, such as the Chongde Hall, they were built urgently. Although there are still some places, the overall scale is much smaller. After all, Xu County is only half the size of Luoyang.

   Before dawn, Xun Yu dressed neatly and came to the palace gate in a carriage. When the night leak was not exhausted, the gate of the palace was opened wide, and Xun Yu led all the ministers to the front of the Chongde Hall.

   Lao Cao is not here, he is considered older...

   Today is the Dachaohui.

  For the Dachaohui, all the courtiers in Xu County must be present, but not everyone can see the emperor Liu Xie. Only officials with more than two thousand stones can enter the hall to have an audience, and the rest will congratulate His Majesty. And because the scale of the Chongde Hall is smaller than that of Luoyang, not all the two thousand stones can actually enter the hall...

Generally speaking, those who are more than two thousand stones, if they have no actual position, just a false position, which cannot be actually received, such as positions such as Yizhou Shepherd and Yangzhou Shepherd, then they can only stand on the "Your Majesty" , even because the area of ​​"Your Majesty" is not large, it becomes standing on "Your Majesty", or it should be called "Under the Steps".

  The first step of the Great Court Meeting is naturally that the representatives of the officials make a government work report to the emperor. It is usually narrated by Xun Yu, which is to reflect some situations in various places in recent times. Of course, these situations are the current imperial court, that is, some matters within the jurisdiction of Cao Cao, and other areas, it is just a collection of numbers.

If it is the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting at the beginning of the new year, in the palace, all the officials under your majesty and rank will kneel down together, say long live, and wish the emperor another year, and then the **** order will replace them The emperor bestows wine and food to all officials, usually a piece of boiled meat and a cup of corn wine. Then there are some theatrical performances, which is quite like a tea party for later generations.

   It's just that it's not Zhengdan at the moment, so after Xun Yu's report, the officials of the Shaofu will give some drinks to the officials in the hall, and the ordinary officials outside the hall can leave.

The second round of discussions, normally, is to discuss some major national affairs, and then the emperor will make a balance adjustment and make a decision, but the problem is that it is not the turn of the upper hall to discuss the major issues, so every time you talk about small things, there is some suspicion of insulting the emperor , so no matter what you choose to talk about at every court meeting, it will be somewhat embarrassing.

Liu Xie also understands this embarrassment, but after all, he wants to find something for himself to do, otherwise he, the emperor, may become less and less influential, just like a sock that has been forgotten in a corner, and eventually grows Full of hair, disappeared in people's memory.

After Xun Yu once again stated that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, Liu Xie did not refute, but just pondered for a moment, and then said: "When the former emperor was in Luoyang, after the court meeting, there were often debates on scriptures. Thinking about it now, It's a pity...」

  Xun Yu bowed his head, cupped his hands and said, "Xu Xia was the first to build, but he didn't have all the doctors, so it was difficult to debate the scriptures." However, the world is gradually settling, and it is about to be peaceful, and talented people from all directions will inevitably come here. In time, the meeting of debating classics will definitely be seen again. Don't worry about the emperor. 』

  Liu Xie nodded, and did not refute Xun Yu's words, but said that he had heard about Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian, who seemed to be well-educated and well-versed in Confucian classics, so he wondered if he could invite Xu County.

Xun Yu couldn't help but looked up at Liu Xie, a little uncertain whether Liu Xie really didn't know, or was pretending to be confused, but he couldn't help answering the emperor's question. Even if people go there, Master Zheng will not be allowed to come to Xu to give lectures. 』

   Liu Xie asked: "But why?" 』

   Xun Yu replied: "Among the doctors of the Five Classics, there is no one who taught ancient Chinese classics..."

   Liu Xie froze for a moment, is this the reason...

   seems to sound better than the East-West interval.

  In fact, Zheng Xuan can be regarded as a typical pragmatist who has studied "ancient and modern". If the modern text is easy to use, Zheng Xuan will use the modern text; if the ancient text is good, he will use the ancient text. As for what Xun Yu said, it was actually an excuse in some respects.

At present, many people have begun to feel that there is a problem with the current text, and they have begun to turn their attention to the ancient text. Some explanations are also biased towards the ancient text, but the problem has been chaotic after Emperor Ling, so the qualification of "Doctor of the Five Classics" has always been It has not been replaced. That is to say, even if the folks revive ancient prose and begin to pay attention to it again, it is still a private study, and even if modern prose declines, it is still an officially recognized and endorsed mode of thinking.

  It seems that many folks in later generations believe that "Happy Scripture" is a method used by certain elites to stratify society and try to solidify class, but this is still just a speculation among the people and is not officially recognized.

  Later generations of Niuguo have learned from the past. Its public schools are supported by government funding and are free to students; private schools are not the case, and they are completely self-funded. The annual tuition fee is basically the annual income of an ordinary family. In this case, the education in public schools will be relatively loose, which is to create a happy and comfortable atmosphere; private schools are another world, with very strict requirements and great learning pressure. Different efforts lead to different results: the five best private schools in the country have as many people admitted to the two universities of Oxbridge as the total number of students admitted to the other 1,800 public schools in the country combined.

Many foreign scientists and educators have begun to say that family, school, and environment will determine the development of a person. If a child wants to surpass the inherent class, he must first have talent, secondly, he must be self-disciplined, study hard, and good luck . But there are still some people who are willing to immerse themselves in wishful dreams, thinking that happiness is justified, that coolness is the ultimate way, that it is easy to go to Oxbridge while sleeping.

   Indeed, dreams have everything.

In history, because of the confusion of ancient and modern texts, the entire academic thought also entered a chaotic period, so that in the Three Kingdoms era, Wang Su's Wang Xue climbed up in the chaos and became a prominent school, but the problem was that Wang Xue was mixed with Buddhism, Taoism, etc. Thought, derived from metaphysics. Metaphysics played a very important role in the development of ancient Chinese intellectual history, but it failed and regressed in terms of strengthening the central government and cultivating the spirit of martial arts and striving in China.

  So Liu Xie really wants to sort out the scriptures in modern and ancient Chinese, and determine a certain knowledge?

Obviously not.

  Liu Xie listened to Xun Yu's words, pondered for a while, and then said: "I have studied modern prose, and I also like ancient prose, so I am confused. I hope great scholars can explain it, and I especially admire Zheng Kangcheng's study." At the time of Emperor Gaozu, hundreds of schools could all be doctors; in the method of Xiaowu, there were only seven doctors in the Five Classics; if the law of Xiaoxuan was followed, "Gu Liang" would not be included in the official school. Today's doctors are scattered, how can we argue... Therefore, both modern and ancient texts can be regarded as doctors. I intend to revive the study of literature, and recruit learned scholars from all over the world. I don't know what you think about it? 』

  The rest of the courtiers in the main hall bowed their heads silently without saying a word.

  In the silence, Xun Yu said slowly: "This matter is very important, it is better...to discuss it another day..."

   Liu Xie frowned slightly, and then said: "Today is the court meeting, why can't we discuss it?" 』

  Xun Yu was silent for a while again, and said, "Today's discussion is the battle of Youbei... about the Confucian classics, we can discuss it after the battle is settled..."

  Liu Xie took a breath, finally nodded, sat back a little, straightened his body, like a statue in a temple, upright and solemn.

   Then Xun Yu began to discuss, explain, and assign affairs about the war in the northern part of Youzhou, and then someone started to discuss and explain the assigned affairs again...

   Until the end of the Grand Court Meeting, both on and off the stage were unavoidably exhausted and retreated separately.

  Xun Yu sat in the car, slowly left the palace, and returned to the official residence of the General, or Da Sikong, or the Cao Mansion. This name can be called anything, just like everyone knows that Liu Xie wants to start the debate, not really for the sake of the debate.

   But the problem is that it is not easy to refuse, at least not positively.

   Liu Xie asked once, he will definitely ask for the second time, and the third time, but if he refuses the first time and the second time, he may not be able to refuse the third time...

   If you refuse more than three times, you will be suspected of committing a crime... er, you have committed a crime.

With the series of operations or hypes of Hussar General Fei Qianguan, more and more people in the Han Dynasty realized, especially upper-level politicians like Xun Yu, that it is very important to control the media and control public opinion. An administrative measure that cannot be easily let go.

  Think about Zheng Kangcheng, think about Mr. Shui Jing, with his own traffic, top-notch big V, whoever smirks, it will take a long time for others to explain, and the official ones are not good. Especially when I saw the wave after wave of thoughts in Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong, from Confucius to Mencius, from modern times to ancient learning, from seeking truth to seeking truth, and even what five virtues can be discussed, etc., almost one after another. Constantly, impacting, scouring, colliding with the original Shandong academic theory system...

Just like Xu County at present, although there is an emperor sitting in the town, it is no match for the economy, no comparison for academics, and no comparison for land. It is so embarrassing that it can only be regarded as invisible, or it is faced with such a situation every day. The matter, I am afraid that the monarch and ministers are so uncomfortable that they can use their toes to dig out a three-bedroom and one living room on the ground.

  But there are some things, you know what you know, but it's hard to do.

  At least Xun Yu can't take the lead.

  Because Cao Cao didn't allow it.

   It’s not that Cao Cao doesn’t understand the importance of this matter, but if the academic circles in Shandong are united, if they can defeat Guan Zhongfeiqian, it means that they can also defeat Cao Cao...

After all, Cao Cao is not like Fei Qian, Cao Cao does not allow such risks to exist, so what Cao Cao wants to see is a scattered Shandong gentry system, rather than a combat-capable one condensed under Xun Yu or someone Shandong gentry group.

Feiqian started from the Shoushan Academy, and now Guanzhong Qinglong Temple has built a powerful academic system step by step, with countless books, top academic scholars, countless students, plus astronomy, geography, engineering, agriculture, etc. Waiting for step-by-step blessings, and then when Fei Qian punched the scripture system, to a certain extent, there is no other opponent who can compete.

  If time could be turned back and Cao Cao was given the same amount of time, would Cao Cao arrange similar means in advance?

   Xun Yu sighed slightly.

   Still not possible.

  Because Cao Cao chose the Central Plains at the beginning, the place of the Fourth World War, there was no space and no time for Cao Cao to arrange these methods. Only by fighting, constantly fighting, fighting on all sides, can Cao Cao struggle to create a space. From this point of view, Feiqian chose Bingzhou Northern Land as the foundation of his great cause, which is really a wonderful step...

   Xun Yu on the vehicle swayed.

  In the streets, some gentry children saw Xun Yu's canopy cart, and they all stood beside the road to salute.

   Xun Yu nodded slightly as a signal, then got out of the car before the government office, and walked forward.

  Subtle voices come together to form a huge sound wave.

   On this point, Fei Qian was ahead. Like a sword, Fei Qian picked it up first, and played it well without cutting himself.

  In the early days, the Xun family taught in Yingchuan, and Xun Yu himself also experienced in the Xun family's other courtyard, facing almost the same thing. At that time, there were still many people in Xun's other courtyard...

  Of course I haven’t talked about it now, not because Fei Qian has been to Xun’s other courtyard before, but because Xun’s other courtyard has fulfilled its mission. The purpose of Xun's Bieyuan is to gather all kinds of subtle voices, and then it is like a wave to prop up Xun's reputation. Are they really all studious people? Is it really all about seeking for the sake of up and down, and not ashamed to ask?

   Xun Yu is very clear, it is not.

   It’s just because these people think that everyone else went, so they went too. As for why they went and what to do when they went, they didn’t care. Just like in the other courtyard of the Xun family, it doesn't matter whether it is Xun Yu or Xun Shuang who give the lecture. They don't really care who is speaking, but whether they participate in the lecture.

  The Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong is a larger "Xun's other courtyard".

When a new trend of thought was raised, Xun Yu believed that those Shanxi gentry children were not able to fully understand the meaning of the thought trend, and they might not be clear about the possible future evolution. Most of the time they were just venting their emotions. Not talking. Put someone, something, in the position of being accused, and then those people can stand on the moral high ground and stand in a more powerful position. They even dare to question everything, insult ministers, and accuse the world...

It is normal to have an attitude, or have no attitude, or change attitude frequently, because they just see what others are saying, they say what others are doing, they do what others are doing, and hide in the crowd to vent Dissatisfaction in their lives, and once they are asked to stand up and speak alone, they dare not say anything.

   Xun Yu knows this, and Cao Cao also understands this, so both Xun Yu and Cao Cao do the same thing. When necessary, Xun Yu and Cao Cao will use the voices of these people, and treat them as farting at other times.

   It is indeed regarded as farting. If you drive away from a distance, you will feel smelly if you get close.

  But Hussar General Fei Qian...

  Xun Yu once thought that Fei Qian's actions were dangerous, and he might be backlashed at any time.

   But now, Fei Qian's backlash has not arrived, but Cao Cao's side is forced to be in a dilemma.

  People at the top say a word or do a thing with a purpose. People who do things blindly without a purpose will gradually be rejected and despised by the upper class. This upper class refers to the political decision-making class, not the upper class known to ordinary people.

It's like Liu Xie wants to resume "debating the scriptures". In fact, it doesn't mean that Liu Xie just wants to listen to people nagging a few lines of scriptures, but wants to pass these new doctors of classics or Confucian classics. , to manipulate public opinion, and on the other hand, it is also to demonstrate and cultivate the emperor's decision-making power, even if it starts with a small scripture.

  So it is impossible for Xun Yu to let Liu Xie "debate the scriptures", and Cao Cao will definitely not agree.

   But now it is very troublesome, the emperor Liu Xie has begun to use various methods to fight for his power, and every fight means a potential **** storm.

Dissatisfaction will accumulate, disappointment will accumulate, and when it finally spews out one day, everyone's emotions will surge towards the downwind side, just like a waterfall pouring down, and it will never be controlled by the downwind side Did that person also ever do the right thing, and was wronged about something.

  Goodness is like water.

  Downstream is like water.

   Xun Yu slowly sat down in his seat.

  Cao Ren's urgent report, Xun Yu had already had someone pass it on to Cao Cao, and there was only a copy of Xun Yu's own record, or a memorandum, left on the table.

   Regarding Zhang Ze's wishful plan in Hanzhong, Xun Yu said that it was even worse than the emperor Liu Xie's plan. Even if we don’t care about the movements in Jiangdong, and assuming that Cao Cao has plenty of soldiers at the moment, it is impossible to transfer troops from Jingzhou to Sichuan and Hanzhong. Movement, where is it so easy?

Furthermore, Xun Yu always believed that the matter in Longyou was Fei Qian's plan, which was to let the opponents hidden in the queue jump out, and clean Longyou just like cleaning Guanzhong. The hesitation and slowness shown at this stage, even as if it is difficult to deal with it, should actually be a cover-up.

  Because if it was Xun Yu who was in charge of this matter, he would definitely do the same thing. When the opponents in Longyou almost show up, they will be wiped out, and they will be clean for at least 20 to 30 years...

  So Zhang Ze's rebellion, in Xun Yu's view, was a stupid farce.

   But is it possible to use this farce to add a little trouble to Fei Qian? Or take advantage of this matter to speed up the integration of Shandong when Fei Qian can't take care of this side for the time being?

  In this way, if you regard this matter as an opportunity, perhaps the Emperor Liu Xie's "Debating Classics" is not unavailable...

Xun Yu seemed to have thought of something, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote a letter. Then he read it again from the beginning to the end, took a breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it in the bamboo tube. After sealing it with wax paint, it was rushed to Yecheng.

  (end of this chapter)
